aspects of stolen property is vehicle theft. What sets this crime apart from other stolen property is what I call the “mobility doctrine”. Meaning‚ vehicles have the inherent ability to be easily relocated from one location to another (Karmen‚ 2015). This creates a special dynamic; because the location a vehicle is left in can have a significant impact on it susceptibility to being stolen (Karmen‚ 2015). Couple this dynamic and mobility doctrine with the fact that vehicles are not physically protected

control motor vehicle safety. There are laws that are created at every level of government in the United States starting with the federal government all the way down to municipal or city regulations. A licensed driver must be aware of and abide by all of these different laws in order to ensure the safety of not just other drivers on the road but also bike riders and pedestrians that are walking along side of the roads.

In any two vehicle collision‚ the smallest vehicle sustains the most damage. The occupants also have a higher injury and fatality risk. This means that the motorcyclist always loses in collisions with other types of vehicles. In addition‚ their two wheels make them less stable in poor road and weather conditions. Their lack of a protective cage‚ seat belts‚ and airbags mean that they rarely survive collisions unscathed. In short‚ it’s up to other vehicles on the road including commercial or owner

desired destination‚ a life threatening danger awaits drivers‚ that is motor vehicle accidents. Motor vehicle accidents occur everywhere at anytime. In order to understand the result that causes deaths on motor vehicle users‚ three areas of analysis should be considered. These areas are magnitude‚ distribution and determinants of motor vehicle accidents. A factor that can lead to an increase in the awareness behind motor vehicle accidents is the comparison of a high-income country to a middle-income country
